FOSDEM is a free and non-commercial event bringing together about 8000 developers in Brussels, Belgium. The next edition will take place on 1 & 2 February 2020 and provide open source software developers, endusers and communities a place to share minds, tech
and beer. Participation is free of charge, although donations are welcome.</p>

Sunday 2 Feb 2019 from 9.00-17.00, the Geospatial Devroom offers – for the 6th consecutive time - a podium for everything open geospatial technology and information related.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif">
Geospatial technologies and mapping used to be specialists work, but nowadays location intelligence is becoming part of many industries/products/projects/<wbr>applications, which often use only a small subset of the possibilities the data and software have
to offer.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif">
The Geospatial Devroom is the right place to talk about open geospatial topics related to data, software and community. This includes standards, usage and tools, e.g. for (temporal-)spatial databases, and online mapping, temporal-spatial analysis, geospatial
services, used for collection, storage, processing, delivery, analysis, and visualizing purposes.</p>
